What I Didn't Buy at the Thrift Store: Flea Market Fun

Flea market hunting doesn't just bring amazing finds for pennies on the dollar, it also provides ample laughs and fun. You never know who you'll meet or what you'll see before you embark. Sometimes it's a dud and you don't encounter much, but this weekend I had plenty to document and enjoy:

I was dying for these reproduction vintage tin robots! Not vintage or not, they needed to come home with me. Unfortunately I'd already spent all my flea market cash and I was on the way to a birthday party, so I had to part with these beauties...for now.

Another pretty pack of finds that couldn't come home with me. I love the reproduction tin astronaut.

I searched this pile hard to yield some of the amazing finds you can see here. When the set up is nice and clean like this I tend to pass it over because the vendors will charge antique store prices for the finds when I want flea market deals, but the items here were low-priced. That'll teach me to never pass over a table at the market!

Halloween is close, but every day is a horror opportunity for me. My morbid soul cries out for spooky finds, and this one is a gem. Look at her face, isn't it beautiful?

Some might find these two dolls creepy, but I love them. They'd be here with me now if not for those pesky money/time delays.

And this gorgeous educational skeleton, oh how I've pined for one since my science nerd days. We would be friends, he and I. But we weren't meant to be. The search continues.

And wrapping up the horror, holy hell, look at this morbid display? What would have made this dog feel like he has no way out?

And his friends, too! My god, it wasn't suicide, it's mass plushie murder!
